History Narm / NeonGenesisEvangelion

* Another example from the English dub: Matt Greenfield, who voiced Makoto Hyuga in the series, was replaced in the film by Keith Burgess, a black actor complete with an impressive BadassBaritone, who sounds ''nothing'' like Greenfield's very white-and-nerdy take on Hyuga. It is perhaps single-most jarring moment to a viewer who watched the anime from start to finish. As a result "Black Hyuga" has become a minor meme in the fandom.

** The Hallelujah chorus is the first thing that plays ''immediately'' when Arael's light beam makes contact with Eva-02, which is likely where the Narmy part comes from (along with thoughts of [[KillLaKill Mako Makanshou]] coming to mind), but given the look into Asuka's mind that follows, it's more accurate to say that the moment is turned from Narm to purified NightmareFuel.

* The English dub of ''End of Evangelion'' has Fuyutsuki's voice actor slipping into DullSurprise territory so often it becomes funny. Memorable lines include: "Sweet Jesus, it's an Anti-AT Field." and "Oh dear God in Heaven, SEELE has delivered an angel to us." Exactly in the tone you'd expect DullSurprise to fall under.

Do you find meals enjoyable?--> Gendo: Yes.--> Rei: And do you find pleasure in eating with others?--> Gendo: Yes.--> Rei: And the act of cooking, that's enjoyable, isn't it?--> Gendo: [[RuleOfThree Yes.]]--> Rei: Commander Ikari, would it be nice to sit down for a meal with your son and the others, sometime?--> Gendo: No.

* Repeating of the same three bits of StockFootage in the Director's Cut ''over and over again'' ended up making it some sort of [[BlackComedy incredibly inappropriate]] OverlyLongGag. It made more sense in the original Japanese; there, each time that scene was repeated, a different voice actress from the cast who played another character ([[Music/MegumiHayashibara Rei]], [[Creator/KotonoMitsuishi Misato]], [[Creator/YurikoYamaguchi Ritsuko]], [[Creator/MikiNagasawa Maya]], and [[Creator/JunkoIwao Hikari]]) read [[Creator/YukoMiyamura Asuka]]'s lines, making her statement of "No! This isn't me!" more sensible. But in the dub, it's just [[Creator/TiffanyGrant Asuka's regular VA]]. Either this didn't occur to the dubbers, or, because the dub for the Director's Cut was made afterwards, too many voice actors were unavailable. ([[TheOtherMarty Gendo's lines were re-recorded with a different voice actor]] as it was.)
